Bug 432534

Summary:	[science overlay] sci-mathematics/scilab-5.3.3-r1 wants matio-1.3.4, which blocks 'emerge -uvDN world' for me, because freemat-4.1 wants matio-1.5.0

so how is it a bug? you can mask matio-1.5 if you want both scilab and freemat, there is no hard dependency of freemat on matio-1.5.

if freemat really does not work with matio-1.3.4, then report again.
